Unfortunately I don't have pictures to show it, but my current X came with classic '70s-'80s pin striping.
The stripes were two tone, hand painted and very "stylistic". Lots of swooping lines and little curlicues all over the vehicle...even places like along the side and top edge of the windshield posts, around all of the handles/locks/fittings/lights, along every body line, over the hood and trunk, up the side pillars to the top, around the rear panel, and anywhere else you could possibly imagine. Whoever did the work sure was creative and extensive. And like I said, all of it was two-tone; every line was duplicated just below with the second color, often criss-crossing at the ends. The paint he used must have been good because not only did it last better than the factory paint on the body (car still had original paint), but it was a bitch to remove.
Unfortunately the car was a total "Barbie" car; light blue metallic with parchment interior, the bright pin stripping as described, chrome body line moldings, chrome rocker sill moldings, chrome trim around the wheel arches, chrome luggage rack, and a huge '80s Motorola cell-phone hard mounted inside (with the cell antenna through the trunk lid, massive black boxes in the spare tire well - no spare - and big data cables running everywhere to connect all of it). And I won't mention some of the items I found inside the car, gotta love the '80s...good times. But not as good as the '70s (however like they say, if you remember the '70s you weren't there)!
Let us know what you decide to do. Consider the possibility of getting the stripes hand painted instead of tape. I've noticed with the huge influx of pin strippers created by the whole '50s revival (rat rods and the like), that the prices to get it done have dropped to reasonable rates (at least on the west coast...not sure elsewhere). I see them looking for business at all of the cars shows, swap meets, etc.
